Hey guys I came across a thread at Blender Artist about a cool new addon called Tissue.It lets you create a tiling conforming surface with an object on another object.

Here's the thread.  http://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?375378-tissue-by-Alessandro-Zomparelli

Here's the addon. https://github.com/alessandro-zomparelli/tissue

And here something I made with it in about 5 minutes.
